I can hear the stars in your eyes
every time you say her name
yet you say there's nothing going on.

I can hear your heart beating
like the summer rain
every time she walks into the room
even as you turn away.

I can feel the cold winter wind
every time you touch me
and its her you're really
wanting to hold.

It doesn't take goodbye
to be gone.

You have rendered this particular situation so very well!

(I would say "see" the stars in your eyes instead of "hear", but of course your overall sensitivity makes everything possible!)

Sadly beautiful anyway!

Love,
Margherita

Paula~
I was so glad to see you here ...
but sorrowed that it was with such a sad, beautifully rendered penning~

I really felt this. You hooked me from the beginning. I mean that opening line was great. And then the last two lines...and everything in between.

Thanks everyone. I gotta say this isn't happening to me...it's just a poem.
